We Need Some Space

This sermon launches a new series called "Heart Habits," emphasizing that the habits of our heart determine the trajectory of our lives and relationships. Using Jesus's example from Mark 1:35, Pastor Mark demonstrates that success increases the need for silence and solitude with God. The central message is that we cannot sustain spiritual depth without intentionally scheduling sacred space with God. Just as Jesus withdrew from the crowds at the height of His ministry to pray, believers must prioritize time alone with God over the distractions of busyness—even good busyness like serving. The sermon challenges the congregation to move beyond Sunday attendance to active service and daily communion with God, emphasizing that what we don't schedule, we won't sustain. True clarity, conviction, and commitment come only after creating space for God to speak into our lives.
